What is Macro Photography?
Macro photography is a technique that utilizes extreme close up shots. The goal is to capture an image that illustrates great detail and visual texture. Subjects commonly photographed using this technique are bugs, insects, flowers, small objects, etc. Many digital cameras have a "Macro Mode" that allows you to shorten the smallest focal length and get the lens that much closer to the subject. The key is to make sure your subject is very close and VERY focused. Tips and Equipment for Macro Photography |
